Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) buttermilk (or milk plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice/vinegar)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons (45g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 ounces (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2–3 tablespoons (30-45ml) whole milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar.
  2. In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter until combined into a thick paste.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula just until combined; batter should be lumpy.
  5. Spoon half the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter and use a knife or skewer to swirl gently; repeat with remaining cinnamon sugar on top.
  6. Heat skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or non-stick spray.
  7. Scoop about ¼ cup batter per pancake onto skillet; cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set, then flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden brown.
  8. While pancakes cook, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract; gradually add milk until smooth and pourable.
  9. Stack pancakes on plates and generously drizzle with cream cheese glaze before serving.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use a gentle swirling motion to create distinct cinnamon swirls. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while finishing the batch. Adjust cream cheese drizzle thickness by adding milk gradually.
